Safe Is Not An Option

I’ve belatedly launched my Kickstarter project to publish my book on our irrational attitudes toward safety on the high frontier. I’ve put a short fuse on it — just fifteen days to raise four grand. I’d like to raise a lot more, to really publicize the thing, but that’s the minimum I need to have a quality product, I think.

Everyone who contributes at least five bucks will get some form of the book. Please consider donating generously, if you want to see this get more attention in the new year.

Kickstarter allows you to donate more than the asking price. I don’t want to speak for Rand, I’m sure if you kick in the extra bucks Rand can find an FedEx slip. You should probably mention what country you live in so Rand can guess how much the postage would cost.

If by that you mean just posting the thing and letting everyone have at it, no. It would essentially be letting everyone read the book for free, and the process would be chaotic. I’m not looking for people to find typos, or historical nits (it’s already been heavily reviewed by a few others for the latter), but actual professional editing. I don’t think it will cost that much.
